	BOCC AGENDA ITEM

Item Title:	Consider Setting Public Hearing for Gas Tax
Date:	6/21/2017
Department:	OMB

Background:
The Board is discussing the FY 2017-2018 Budget, which includes options related to increasing revenues. One option that has been presented includes implementation of a 5-Cent Gas Tax which would generate approximately $1.6 million dollars in annual revenue. As currently drafted, the ordinance would restrict proceeds only to be used for the construction of new roads, the reconstruction or resurfacing of existing paved roads, or the paving of existing graded roads. Routine maintenance of roads is not considered an authorized expenditure.
Request:
Consider request to set public hearing date of July 10, 2017 to consider an Ordinance providing for the levy of an additional five (5) cents of the Local Option Gas Tax upon every gallon of motor fuel sold in Nassau County and taxed under the provisions of Part I of Chapter 206, Florida Statutes.
